 2008 EBT Maribor Strike tournament cancelled |
|
The organizer of the 2nd Maribor Open Strike Tournament, originally scheduled to be conducted on 6-14 September 2008 in Maribor - Slovenia, has to day, Sunday 31 August 2008, announced for us that they are cancelling the tournament due to a low number of entries.
We have replied to the organizer, the Bowling Centre Strike in Maribor, that we deeply regret their action and that the cancellation will be met by financial claims.
From the player’s perspective, Article 14.4 in the EBT 2008 Rules is important:
If a tournament is cancelled (regardless the moment), players, who have already entered, must be compensated in full for any incurred loss or damage, meaning for example that non refundable tickets for air and/or surface transportation must be reimbursed by the organizer upon receipt of proven documentation.
In each case, where a player is meeting the requirements presented in Article 14.4, the player must send an electronically issue of the documentation to Wolfgang Lohschmid at the email address

together with relevant bank details. Wolfgang Lohschmid will then take care of collecting the claims and present them for the organizer.
It is essential to underline that the tournament is not organized by Wolfgang Lohschmid, that the decision of cancelling the tournament is not taken by Wolfgang Lohschmid, that Wolfgang Lohschmid in general is hired to manage the tournament only and that Wolfgang Lohschmid as a clear consequence has no financial obligations for the tournament.
Anyhow, Wolfgang Lohschmid will do his best to help players, with a documented financial loss occurred as a consequence of the cancellation, to be compensated according to Article 14.4 by the organizer, the Bowling Centre Strike in Maribor.
As a consequence of the very late cancellation of the 2nd Maribor Open Strike Tournament from the European Bowling Tour 2008, the 3rd Maribor Open Strike Tournament has been removed from the European Bowling Tour 2009.
It reduces the number of tournaments in the European Bowling Tour 2009 to 16 according to the attached revised list.
